New Stuff

A new picture!!! The National Mall at night. Washington, DC.
The Cherry blossoms in Washington DC area well-known event. I did it a bit differently this year and went at night then added a couple of thos pictures to my Cherry Blossom Photos.
I went to Luray Caverns in Virginia and took some cool pictures of it.
I have made a page for my trip to London.

My Stuff

Family

I have set up a family website
with more pictures and info for friends and family. Email me if you need
the password.

Photography

My interests in computers and photography mesh quite nicely. I have
a habit of going places and taking pictures then putting them
up on the web. I have been doing it for years and have quite a collection.
Most of them are in my photo gallery that I call
Visual Stimuli.
There are pictures from more than 20 parks and places I have visited
around the country, such as Arches N.P.
and Shenandoah N.P.

Programming

I wrote and maintain a Perl module for finding people's names in
text called Name::Find.
It is available under LGPL and can be found on
SourceForge.net. You also may be able to try it out. To give myself a real project using the module, I have a database of people mentioned in newspapers that you can search.
A long time ago, I wrote a c library for generating CGM files called
CGM
Draw. That is freely available for anyone to use.

I also occasionally work on more experimental stuff, usually just to try something out or get a better idea of how stuff works. You can see what's going on in my lab.

Other Stuff

Some things are just too weird for words. For some reason, they
appeal to me.
The Payphone Project
contains thousands of payphone numbers, with photos, stories, and
links related to pay phones and phone booths throughout the world.
Cockeyed.com has all sorts
of odd stuff like
The How Much
is Inside Adventures that tell you vital information like how much CO2 is in soda and how much white stuff is in a package of Oreos. and
Pranks (The Google Chad one is great).

I generally try not to wax nostalgic, that is what old people do.
But humor me for a sentence or two. Remember when the web was young,
and everything on it was new? Take a walk down memory lane
to the coffeepot.
Probably the first live webcam on the web.
Actually, the coffee pot is no longer live, they sold it on e-bay
for a few thousand. That was a real piece of web history.
I also have more interesting stuff.
